In February 2024 work started on the Sheffield castle site to create a new city centre open space, prepare new development sites on Exchange Street and Waingate and, our priority, to reveal a section of river Sheaf not seen since it was covered over in 1912.  The Trust has set up a webcam in Exchange Studios to post images of the construction site updated at regular intervals.   The roof of the culvert can just be seen in the lower left corner of the picture.  We are expecting work on removing the roof and reducing the side walls to start from the end of August 2024 and run on until Christmas

If you have any suggestions, or would like to join the Trust please mail us on info@sheafportertrust.org
